Leon was born in Benzin Poland a survivor of the 5 concentration camps during the Holocaust and was liberated from Dachau. Early in life, Leon rarely spoke of the horrors he endured while imprisoned during World War 2. Only after Leatrice Rabinsky convinced Leon to educate her class was he able to describe the horrific atrocities that he and many others endured during their encampment. His voice may now be silent but his experiences and legacy will live on through his family and the many lives he touched.
